Fanduel, Draftkings, the NCAA, and Scott Stricklin

Oliver Luck reminded athletic directors that any athletes gambling on college sports will lose a year of eligibility.

Earlier this morning, Scott Stricklin sent out this tweet:

… any athlete found to be gambling on college sports (includes daily fantasy such as Draft Kings) automatically loses a year of eligibility.

I saw some questions after his tweet, so I'll make a few quick points about it.

  • Oliver Luck is basically the "second in command" behind NCAA president Mark Emmert. His title is "Executive Vice President of Regulatory Affairs", which means he is responsible for the day to day operations of the NCAA.
